🕊️ Not a day should go by that we don't consider the people who were here thousands and thousands of years before us. We will always be visitors to their land, and we have been abhorrent guests. Knowing that, the VERY LEAST we can do, is honor them -- especially on Indigenous Peoples’ Day ...

📌Greg Abbott received a $7.4 million dollar judgement in 1985 when a tree fell on him putting him in a wheelchair. When he later ran for office, he was instrumental in passing tort reform laws capping insurance payouts for victims of accidents like his at $750,000. Enough of these horrible people.

📌This naked statue of Trump, The Orange Plague, in the European Parliament in Strasbourg is exactly how you handle this deviant, who uses his office to celebrate himself, and crush others. He needs to know that THIS is how he will be remembered when he finally takes his last gasp.

📌It is absolutely appalling that OUR tax money is being used by the President of the United States to take to the airways to celebrate himself and attack US. This is clearly against the law, but what would you expect from a woman-attacking and America-attacking convicted felon?

📌GOOD NEWS: A new AP poll released today has Trump’s overall approvals at an all-time low 31%, while 17% approve of his job handling cost of living. 📌BETTER NEWS: He is an abusive malignant narcissist and will be stalking the campaign trail dragging Republican candidates down with him. #winning

📌BREAKING via NYT: Ken Paxton told a group of conservative donors and lobbyists last week that Trump’s midterm convention in Dallas hurt him politically, according to an audio recording obtained by NYT. As if this corrupt dirtbag hadn't hurt himself (and others) enough. The GOP is a cesspool.

📌REMINDER: 1. Donald Trump violently attacked the country on Jan. 6, 2021, while trying to overthrow the election. 2. He then retired to his dining room to root on the attack for three hours. 3. When it failed, he went on camera, and told the attackers that he "loved them." He's a damn traitor.

🌹 46 years ago tonight we learned John Bonham was dead. The Hammer of the Gods anchored the greatest rock & roll band in history. Shortly after his passing, Led Zeppelin ended their breathtaking 12-year run, because they were only as strong as their collective parts. What a band. What a drummer ...

📌You have to wonder just how compromised Trump is when he goes along with Putin's demands to shut down oil production to the world just before the midterms, and agrees to making sure his oligarch has a prominent place in Jr.'s wedding. Why isn't this reported more? It's been this way for a decade.

📌As an old, white man I am telling you the Republican Party is fueled by a sickening notion of white supremacy, privilege and misogyny. Nothing scares them more than competing on an equal playing field. They will do everything and anything to hold people down and maintain a status THEY NEVER EARNED.

📌TIMELINE 1) 25 yrs ago, Osama bin Laden orchestrated the most deadly attack on our mainland in history. 2) 10 yrs later, the Obama administration hunted that devil down, and killed him. 3) 10 yrs later, Trump orchestrated the most violent internal attack on our Capitol ever. History matters.

🌹That's my kick-ass aunt, Congresswoman Louise Slaughter, with the great Gloria Steinem a few years ago ... These amazing women are both gone now, at a time we've never needed them more. They were role models for me, and will always be a reminder that women are far superior to men. They just are.

How evil was Ratko Mladić? In July, 1995, he joined his soldiers in the streets of Srebrenica and handed out candy to Bosnia's Muslim children, telling them “No one will be harmed.” Over the next week, 8,000 Muslim men and boys were slaughtered. Thousands more women were raped. He's finally dead.
